There's a black '15 Nismo around Olive & El Mirage I see pretty often too. Looks good. A lot better than in white.

C&C is this weekend too, but I don't think I'm going to make this one either. I'm working nights and won't get home until 2:30/3:00 in the morning. :( That'll be three in a row that I've missed.

I'm down.

Whats up guys,

I haven't been on the forum in about a year because of a baby and crazy work schedule. I got my weekends back and I'd like to hit a meet or go for a drive on an upcoming Sunday. If you go to the drift events you may have seen me.

Picked this one up just over a year ago after getting into an accident on the 60 in my 07 G35s sedan.

09 base, quaife lsd, I/E, ksport coilovers, stoptechs, some 20s that came with it..

lets set something up

Nice ride!!!

louiey370z 03-09-2015 03:37 PM

Anyone heard of desert dips az? Might be using their services for some plasti dipping. My friend who had his camaro dipped said they did a well job with it and he's pleased. Any other vouches for this shop?

Hotrodz 03-09-2015 10:49 PM

Contact NickTurnOn, he is on the forum and works for Apex in Phoenix. He has been doing it a while and is very good at it!

I have but he's booked for some quite time

Hotrodz 03-09-2015 11:07 PM

Sometimes you have to wait if you want quality!

Z Spec 03-11-2015 04:58 AM

What are you dipping? If it's something small, might as well just dip it yourself.

louiey370z 03-11-2015 05:02 PM

Anyone going to the pot of gold festival?

Plasti dip is relatively easy to use. Make sure you cover your brake calibers and rotors unless you have the luxury of time you can remove your wheels and dip them.

I see that car in the mornings on my way to work, he's obviously a customer of ours with the Vivid Racing and Agency Power stickers but I'm not sure which sales guy he buys from.

trustr888 03-15-2015 02:40 AM

Z Spec 03-15-2015 02:49 AM

Are there any Z's that have the Varis Arising II aero kit in Arizona?

Hotrodz 03-15-2015 11:12 PM

I doubt it...there are only a handful in the US!

It's looks sooo nice thou bro lol. Had I already not had fujimura front bumper and side diffusers, mines add on wing and amuse rear I would have ordered the whole kit and not just the fenders. Been toying with selling the new fujimura sides and ordering the varis. Keep wasting so much money this way thou :eekdance:Hopefully my varis hood will be here soon too thou :excited: stupid long shorman jacking up my car parts happiness lol.

This varis kit was much needed for our cars. Can't wait to see when u get yours :tup:keep me posted

louiey370z 03-16-2015 01:39 PM

Anyone know where I can get my brake calipers painted? Or is it an easy diy?

You ever make it over to my neck of the woods hotrod? U mentioned swinging by vivid awhile back and I would like to check out a Z that isn't constantly being modded and never driven :roflpuke2: I'm at the end with mine. I had to put my foot down and stop replacing parts I never installed. Well maybe just one more part but that's it :icon17:

Definitely seems like it! Nice find. Left him a wall post. Nicest z I've seen in arizona so far. Don't get me wrong, the z's on this thread are outstanding, but this one I saw with my own eyes lol

Are you sure that you want them just painted? Why not powder-coated?

Typically it's a somewhat simple DIY if you're going to use caliper paint, just make sure you mask off or cover the rotor and anything else and just spray the caliper. Probably should remove the pads too.

Not speaking from experience though.

Powder coat works too. Just want the red look on it. I think nickturnon is able to do it though from apex customs. Hopefully we get something settled lol

LOL brother, I have not made it to Phoenix yet. I will probably try and get there the first part of April. I will let you know, I am just so stupid busy on my weekends through the end of May.

I tell myself I'm done after each purchase but each purchase mean I need something else. I just had a rollbar installed last month, now I need racing seats and a 5 point harness. My wife told me not to long ago when I was washing and waxing the Z, "That car is worst than a boat...all it is money down a hole!" I lovingly replied "go back in the house" :owned: She laughed and left me to my car sex! :rofl2:

Definitely will keep you posted. But it's going to be a long wait before I even get my kit. ETA about 5-6 months.

I just saw your frp rs1 fenders for sale post and i happen to miss out on such a good deal!

Also since you are replacing your cf rs1 fenders with the varis arising ii fenders if you ever plan on selling the cf fenders i'd be gladly to take them off your hands if the price is right :icon17:

Anyone know any decent places in the east valley to get a nice alignment? Preferably someone that knows a little bit about suspension tuning that isn't just aligning to factory specs. :rolleyes:

I'm in the chandler area so the closer the better!

I had an RE-11 crap out on me for some reason and I have some weird feeling it was my alignment somehow....I'll leave this here.

Network Alignment is who we use. Address: 1021 N Gilbert Rd, Gilbert, AZ 85234 Phone:(480) 539-8277. They're good, aligned the black cherry convertible with H&R Springs for us.

It's going great over here, sales are up particularly our forum sales...(thanks to everyone who has purchased from us). You should stop by after the alignment shop. They've done lots of other cars for us as well and I've been using Network since the 90's. They're solid.

I agree. I use Network Alignment in North Phoenix. They do great work. They have done my lifted supercharged 4Runner, Lexus IS350 F-Sport and the lowered Z.

Just make sure they don't scratch your wheels. I know some people have had issues with that with Network Alignment.
